I'm that Canadian that bought it off Steve in 96 from a 2 line ad in National Dragster. Had no idea it was Landy's @ the time. It was just a real beat up looking original LO23 Dart with loads of potential, & was in the price range I was looking for.



This is how it was when I was "convinced" to sell it. Fully documented by a personal visit by da man hisself Dick Landy. Picked him & his very personable wife Jean up @ the airport in my original hemicuda to bring them back to my place 35 miles away. Dick thought that was pretty cool. A VERY special time to be sure.




Notice a few things on it. first off the obvious colors on front fenders. Second, the ground down paint on the door. This was to find the holes Dick drilled for the HEMI emblems he installed from a 68 Charger. Also, check out the holes behind the headlights. dick converted this car to a 69 & the headlight placement is different, so he cut out that area & installed alluminum sheetmetal to fasten the headlight buckets to in the new postions..
Ever since this car I have loved the spinners also. It's this car that made up my mind to install Cragars on my current LO23 complete with spinners. Still have them, but my current wheels are early 70's original Keystone Classics.



A VERY special night after the documentation complete with the finest of prime rib, & a few reallllllly good dark rums


Same car today


My current car with the Cragars in 03 complete with spinners. No engine, trans or interior at this time, thus the 4X4 height
